We have sailed on 9 Princess cruises. Full suites, Owners Suites, Reserve suites, mini suites and an inside cabin. If you have sailed with MSC in the Yacht Club, you may be disappointed with Princess. We have sailed 3 times in the YC on MSC, food is better, service is better, and the butler service is awesome.

We just got off the Sky Princess yesterday. When we came down to deck 7, Promenade, at the aft stairs, as soon as you made the turn past the starboard doors to the smoking deck, the smell near the Vista lounge was nasty! I hope folks in the cabins above were not affected. If you went to the aft of the ship on deck 17, same, nasty. The casino was also over powered with smoke. One day, the cruise lines will do as the airlines, no smoking. Yep, airlines are full.

Just a side note from our early morning departure on the Sky Princess today at 7:45 am. The smoking area on deck 7, aft, starboard was closed. A lady stopped a security staff member and asked if she could go to another area to smoke. He politely said all smoking areas on the ship were closed until fueling of the ship was finished. She looked devastated.

Sorry, I am looking at the room service menu and all they show is Coke, Diet Coke, Seagram’s Ginger Ale, Gosling’s Ginger Beer, Natural Spring Water, Red Bull, San Pellegrino, Sprite and tonic water. Not sure if the bars carry more choices.

The Catch on Sky Princess.

Currently on the Sky. Last night in the Catch, they offered “frizzled” onions with the steak entre. Basically fried onion straws. We asked for a side order to share with our meal. They were wonderful. Last year on the Enchanted, wife asked for onion rings in Reserve Class and they were able to serve her onion rings, frozen type but good.

We are currently on the Sky Princess. Yesterday in San Juan, we did a Segway tour of Old San Juan. You will see a lot in two hours and it is a lot of fun. You can book directly on the website. Jose is the owner and guide. We learned a great deal about the history of San Juan. The office is a 10 minute walk from Pier 4.

Well, I don’t think it was excessive as it was shipped from the West Coast by truck.

We are 9 days away from our cruise on the Sky Princess. Wife and I are Elite. We have not been able to book Specialty dinning reservations on the app. I have an iPad. Any help would be appreciated.

Our Medallions were shipped from Los Angeles on November 4th and arrived today on November 15th. We sail on the Sky Princess on November 25 th. Excited!

Our Medallions have been shipped as of November 4th. Arriving at our home by November 15. Hope it works.

Our first cruise with Princess was in 2005 on the Diamond Princess. Buffet was very good. MDR was great. Now after 8 cruises, quality in the buffet is like going to S & S cafeteria. MDR is a hit or miss.

We have two special ducks for our Sky Princess cruise starting on November 25th. Captian CAE ducks from our flight training group in Dallas. Hope someone finds the pilots.

Only had a small issue on our Enchanted Princess cruise. Showed up at the port in Fort Lauderdale, get to check in and both mine and my wife’s Medallions did not work. After a few minutes at the checkin counter, they allowed us to board. We went to Customer Service and they did some magic and the Medallions worked. Dead battery?

We have sailed on the Caribbean Princess 4 times, the last was Jan 2019 and have 8 total cruises with Princess. We like the ship. Is it perfect? No. MDR is fine. Buffet could be better, but that is just my opinion. We would sail her again. I agree with many others, a cruise is what you make of it. I believe most of the lines are having staff issues. Enjoy your cruise!

We were told by the Meraviglia hotel manager the wristbands cost $15 each to make. Not worth it to produce them for the entire ship outside the Yacht Club.

On our cruise October 23rd, we had 1471 passengers according to Robert the Hotel director.

We sailed October 23rd. The staff in the YC dining room are awesome. George is the Matre D. Drago is his assistant. Caroline was our favorite waiter with her assistant Abdul. They offered dishes not on the menu. Ask the the day before if you want something special. Carlos was our Butler. Best we have ever had on 3 MSC YC cruises.

We sailed on the Meraviglia October 23rd. Placed our bid about 30 days prior to sailing. Received an email on October 20th saying our bid to the Yacht Club Deluxe Balcony Suite had been accepted. 3rd time in the YC, best cruise ever in the 14 we have done since 2005. Have sailed Princess, Carnival and MSC.

We were on the same cruise and went to the Sushi restaurant. The Diamond dinner did not fit what we wanted so we paid for our meal and used it at Butcher's Cut. We ate in the Teppanyaki restaurant in 2020 and found the food not to our liking compared to American Japanese Steak Houses. Sauces on the steaks were weird. Appetizer's were weird. Service was great.

Don't know about speed outside the Caribbean. We were on the MSC Meraviglia last week and had good service the entire week. I have to download huge files from the TSA website and it only took 5-8 minutes longer than at home with very high speed internet. Just depends where you cruise.

We showed up on "formal night" in the YC on Meraviglia with me wearing a suit and tie and my wife in a beautiful gown. The rest of the passengers in the restaurant were in polo shirts and resort casual. Not an issue, just an observation.

Yes, check in at the YC tent with your luggage. They will give you an MSC sticker. Proceed through security and head to the YC lounge through a priority lane. Have a great time. YC is the best value at sea.

Just off the Meraviglia. One USB outlet in our YC suite and two US outlets. We bring similar chargers for our phones and other equipment.

Just off the Meraviglia today. We were in the Yacht Club and had free Internet. I had to work during our cruise and needed to download files from a TSA website for checking the No FLY List, Selectee List and Cleared List for our charter aircraft. It took a little longer to download, maybe an extra 3 minutes per file. Emails downloaded fairly quickly. Got to have dinner with the IT officer and told her I was happy with the Internet speed.
